Picture Board vs ScrubAlert

Picture Board is an easy to use interface for people who are unable to speak or see clearly. These are intended to augment the existing communication processes when a person is unable to speak and needs to make simple requests. If a person under nursing care wishes to communicate, she/he can use this application to make simple requests via the touch interface. Additionally, the keyboard option allows the Picture Board user to type in a phrase (optionally it can be used with the iPhone or iPad built-in Accessibility features which allow the typed text to be spoken). Uses: Person who is unable to talk can communicate simple or complex requests and respond to yes or no questions. Nursing homes can use Picture Board to communicate with persons under their care. First responders can use Picture Board to communicate with persons who require first aid. Perfect for installation on a care provider’s (nurse, doctor etc.) iPhone and iPad to facilitate communication with patients.

ScrubAlert is a free, non-profit utility that reminds you to wash your hands after you've taken a specified number of steps. Translated into 30+ languages and fully open source, ScrubAlert can have other utilities, like reminding yourself to hydrate after step intervals for example.  Step count is a far more effective estimator of bacterial exposure than a simple timer and as an unobtrusive solution for helping kids and adults with hand sanitization practices, Scrub Alert can assist you in staving off unwelcome germs. Using the health app's native pedometer, battery impact is extremely minimal, only querying steps every 15 minutes as a background fetch process and issuing a notification when necessary. The app has no connection to the internet and saves/tracks none of this data. When it's time to wash your hands, a built-in 20 second timer helps encourage lasting hand washing habits.
